This item was in the 42nd Leitz Photographica Auction last June with an estimate of 100,000 to 150,000 euros, and was unsold (https://wlpa.auction2000.online/auk/w.object?inC=WLPA&inA=20220121_1128&inO=126). Photos in the auction site listing appear to be taken from the Leitz auction. Chris Last edited: Oct 17, 2023
